A Simi Valley man who starred on the reality show "Storage Wars" and who was arrested Saturday on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance was found dead Monday at his workplace, authorities said.

The Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office did not give a cause of death for Mark Balelo, 40, saying that an autopsy would be done Tuesday.

Simi Valley police said Balelo was arrested Saturday in connection with possession of methamphetamine.

Balelo was scheduled to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on Feb. 19, according to county records.

He was interviewed by The Star in April 2011 after he helped return a rare copy of a 1938 comic book valued at $1 million to its owner, actor Nicolas Cage.

The 1938 Action Comics book was found at a storage locker in the San Fernando Valley in March 2011, more than 10 years after it had been stolen from Cage's home in West Los Angeles.

Balelo, who owned Balelo Inc. in Simi Valley, a liquidation merchandise business, had bought the locker's contents through an auction business based in Riverside.

Simi Valley police said Balelo was arrested Saturday at his place of business in the 4400 block of Runway Street.

Balelo Inc. billed itself as one of the nation's leading wholesale liquidators. Its services include being a distributor and online retailer of consumer electronics, toys and clothing. The company says it sells merchandise worldwide.
